Typically I really only look at the backlink profile of an existing aged domain, as well as any DA that it carries already. Everything else is fairly irrelevant to me. I've had domains rank #1 within 3-5 months with relative ease, because on-site seo was on-spot and link building was done slowly but naturally.

that's something I forgot to mention. the more expensive EMD has no backlinks. IDK but it seems to me that very recently, the algorithm really favors aged domains. all top spots are sites that were registered late 90's and early 2000s.

I think it doesnt matter too much if there is no good backlinks or PR... That domain worth is the same like the new one... So go with your new one, put quality content and natural baclinks building will be good enough...

Well, then it's not really aged. As far as Google is concerned, there is no history of content/backlinks. An old registration date does not automatically render a domain "aged". Don't believe everything you read online.

Save yourself some cash, purchase the domain for $10 and invest the money you saved into promoting the new domain.

OK, thanks so much for the advice. But don't you think a domain whose registration date is old is more likely to rank with spam? in other words, cheaper to rank?
the reason I ask is that I have a 2 year old domain. good quality backlinks, ranked #1 for a long time. recently, competitor bought a domain whose registration date is like 1999 and started GSA SER on it. He has nothing but GSA SER backlinks, and he is kicking everybody's ass in the SERPS.

Re-read my post (#8) carefully. The answer is already there.

Just to add... don't automatically assume that he's only using GSA SER by the backlinks that YOU find.
